When people outside looked in, they only saw Ji Nanfeng bowing and humble himself before the bride, begging her to give him some face.
Just when they looked down on Ji Nanfeng, such a grown man, for being so humble, Ji Nanfeng had already come out holding Ruan Tang's hand.
The bright red wedding dress rippled with every step Ruan Tang walked, stunning all the men.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: if they could marry such a beautiful wife, they would be willing to kneel before going to bed every day.
As Ruan Tang picked up the wine bowl, the wedding banquet instantly reached its climax.
"My bride, you are so courageous. Women are as brave as men."
The brother-in-law of the leader of the Scissor Gang became very close to Wang Qiang and his gang because Wang Qiang helped him block the knife.
If it weren't for Ji Nanfeng's face, he would have offered to inspect the bride for the groom first when he saw such a beautiful woman.
"Come on, come on, the bride and I will have a bowl first."
The brother-in-law picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured himself a full bowl, and poured wine for Ruan Tang.
When the wine was half full, Ruan Tang reached out to stop it.
"I can't drink much, can I have a few sips just to show my appreciation?"
When the brother-in-law heard Ruan Tang's soft voice, it sounded like she was acting coquettishly. Before his brain could react, he nodded.
"Then I'll toast to Big Brother."
Ruan Tang tilted her head back and drank half a bowl of wine. Because she drank too quickly, she started coughing violently after putting down the bowl, proving that she really couldn't drink.
When the brother-in-law saw Ruan Tang's lips were red from drinking, he laughed excitedly and drank the whole bowl of wine.
Ruan Tang took the opportunity to turn around and quietly poured some of the spiritual spring water from the empty spring into the wine bowl.
Because Ji Nanfeng, the water-making tool, has been very hardworking during this period, she has accumulated two tanks of spiritual spring water in her space.
Just like that, after drinking a little wine and some spiritual spring water, Ruan Tang defeated the leaders of the Scissors Society with just one wine bowl each.
Ruan Tang leaned drunkenly into Ji Nanfeng's arms. Ji Nanfeng felt distressed: "My wife is drunk. I'll help her into the house to rest for a while."
Ruan Tang pushed Ji Nanfeng away with her tongue: "Don't stop me, I can still drink."
When the leaders of the Scissors Society saw Ruan Tang like this, they all told Ji Nanfeng not to spoil the fun and insisted on pulling Ruan Tang to continue drinking.
When the wine jars were empty and the moon was already high in the sky, the leader of the Scissors Society said, "Let's disperse. We have a mission tomorrow."
After the boss gave the order, those who were not drunk too much stood up and prepared to go home. Qiu Niang came with eight or nine women carrying sobering soup.
"Drink some hangover soup so you don't have to delay things tomorrow morning."
The leader of the Scissors Society looked at the bottom of the pot and smelled the hangover soup, which smelled like the calamus hanging on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. The bottom of the pot was also covered with calamus in pieces.
"calamus?"
Qiu Niang nodded and scooped a bowl of sobering soup for the leader of the Scissor Society.
My hand, intentionally or unintentionally, touched the back of my boss's hand.
Qiu Niang softened her tone intentionally: "Yes, it's a recipe my mother passed down. My husband always drinks calamus water to sober up when he drinks too much."
Qiu Niang's husband was very pleased with her ability to handle things, which earned him a lot of face in front of his boss. He quickly agreed and made up his mind to go and treat Qiu Niang well later.
The other women also nodded. They boiled the calamus water together.
One of the women was the lover of the leader of the Scissor Society. When the leader of the Scissor Society saw that she nodded, he let down his guard a little.
Qiu Niang's man was the first to drink a big bowl, and the bowl was turned upside down, and he drank it all, proving that the sobering soup was fine.
The other women said, "We cooked it together. It's just calamus and water, and we added a lot of sugar. It's sweet."
The leader of the Scissor Society took a sip and it was indeed a strong calamus flavor, and the water was sweet, refreshing and easy to drink.
But he was always cautious and only drank half of the bowl before putting it down.
As for the others, those who drank too much were afraid of delaying tomorrow's tasks, so their women gave them sobering soup.
There are also many people who don’t drink the hangover soup because they don’t drink much.
The leader of the Scissors Society left first with his lover in his arms. Calamus was burning on the village road, with a stone on top.
Calamus burns slowly and creates a smoky atmosphere.
"Who would burn calamus in the middle of the night?"
He remembered that the smell of burning calamus could be smelled both inside and outside the yard of Ji's house.
The leader of the Scissors Society frowned, and his mind felt unclear for a moment as he stood by the fire. He took a few steps back and moved away from the fire.
"Qian Da died, and his brother started the fire."
Qiu Niang just happened to walk over with her husband and said casually.
Qian Da is the one who wants to snatch Ji Nanfeng, the old bachelor who is the groom.
After being beaten to death by Ji Nanfeng, he sought treatment from a village doctor, but died shortly after taking the medicine.
The few old bachelors who were on good terms with him didn't dare to provoke Ji Nanfeng. Besides, their relationship wasn't so close as to seek revenge, and they were also afraid of following in Qian Da's footsteps, so they could only light a few calamus fires in silence.
The local custom is to light calamus when someone dies, to get rid of bad luck and ward off evil spirits.
The leader of the Scissors Society felt unlucky. He was about to suffer a big loss the next day, but a funeral happened.
"It's okay, but you still want to learn how to snatch a bride. You deserve to die." The leader of the Scissors Society had just finished speaking when he felt a fiery gaze.
He felt a numbness in his chest. This wasn't the first time Qiu Niang had looked at him like this, with admiration and affection, but he had never responded before.
Because Qiu Niang and his men are his right-hand men, he would not do anything to disappoint his subordinates.
However, this time his heart was beating very fast, like a young man falling in love for the first time. He hadn't felt this feeling in more than ten years.
He risked his life to raise such a big banner, not to let himself be wronged.
He doesn't steal his subordinates' women, but they can be exchanged.
He gave his lover a look, and his lover reluctantly went to Qiu Niang's man.
Qiu Niang's husband's eyes widened. The boss's lover Yue Xiong had a big butt. Her body shook when she walked, and even her summer clothes couldn't cover it. He had played with her many times in his dreams... Is this true?
He was afraid that he was dreaming, so he pinched his lover's buttocks hard!
The lover didn't expect Qiu Niang's man to be so rude. He took off her clothes as soon as they got home...
After all the guests in the Ji family courtyard had left, Ruan Tang vomited while leaning against the wall.
Although she had the spiritual spring water and could fish in troubled waters, she still drank a lot of wine.
Ji Nanfeng felt so distressed that his heart was in turmoil. He helped Ruan Tang to the bed, wiped her clean, and changed her into clean clothes.
While Ji Nanfeng went to pour water, he plunged into the spiritual spring water and drank it all, then went to the toilet to relieve himself, and only then did he feel better.
Ruan Tang leaned against the door and looked at the calamus in the corner. Most of it had burned, and the air in the village was filled with the smell of calamus.
"Almost, we can close the net now."
Miao Jianye held the hemp rope in his hand, feeling a little uneasy. "Acorus—is it really there?"
Although they followed Ji Nanfeng's instructions and cut all the calamus from the ponds in the village, they still didn't quite believe that the medicinal effect of this calamus could cause people to fall into a coma.
Calamus is the most common thing in the countryside. Every household will hang calamus during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, I have never heard of anyone falling asleep after smelling it. https://m.
"Whether there is any, why don't you go to the boss's house and take a look?"
Although Ji Nanfeng believed that Ruan Tang was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense, he still found it too unbelievable that calamus could cause people to fall into a coma.
"I'm going to go to the boss's house. If he doesn't come out within three minutes, you will start following the plan."
The plan is to force his way into each house one by one.
The group hid in the moonlight and found their way to the leader's yard.
As soon as Ji Nanfeng climbed in, he saw Qiu Niang coming out of the house.
"Why are you here so late? He has already fallen asleep."
